Song Mode: The STATS Page
Swing
The Swing parameter determines the amount (in units of percent) of "swing" applied during
quantization.
Release
The Release parameter determines whether or not note‐off events are quantized.
Key Wait
With Key Wait set to on, a key strike will trigger playback of a sequence (if the play/pause
button is armed,) or trigger recording of a sequence (if the record button is armed.)
Song Mode: The STATS Page
The STATS page is a display‐only page that shows the status of the PC3K event pool. The event
pool is used by all the sequences loaded at a given time in the system. These include: the current
song, the compare song buffer, and up to 16 riffs.
The STATS page shown below is the state of the PC3K event pool with 0*New Song* selected,
and no other user objects loaded in any other modes:
The events in the PC3K are similar to events of other sequencers with a single major difference:
the Note events are stored as a single big event, i.e., one PC3K Note event is comprised of the
note‐on and note‐off events. All other events are stored as single events on the PC3K.
The fields on the STATS page are:
•
Max – the maximum number of notes/events in memory.
•
Used – the total number of notes/events being used.
•
Free – the number of notes/events that are free.
•
Part. – the number of partitioned events, which are events for which space in memory is
allocated. This is technical information of importance only to engineers (and maybe a few
power users).
•
Song – the total number of events (including notes) in the current song.
•
Temp – the total number of events in the temp buffer (the temp buffer is used when
grabbing events from a different song).
•
Riffs 1–16 – the total number of events in each riff.
